Everyone always dreams of being rich. However, not everyone can make it come true. Then, they believe that life is so unfair to them and tend to envy people who can earn millions of dollars every year such as famous athletes or entertainers as well as think that these people don’t deserve such high salaries. In my opinion, I think they do as these following reasons. The first one is they’ve made extra efforts in their training on the way towards the top. No one becomes famous at the time they were born. Sometimes we see them appear many times on TV or the Internet and the world acknowledges their talent, we may think that they are too lucky. But we really don’t know that what we call “lucky” is created by themselves. Behind their brilliant achievements, there are always perspiration, tear and a long string of failures. For example, Natalie Portman had had to wake up at 5pm, gone through 8 hours of ballet training each day for 6 months and lost 20 pounds before she won the Academy Award for Best Actress the movie “Black Swan”. The second one is they have to pay a heavy price before they’re paid high salaries. Most of them started their training when they were little. They not only studied at school but also practiced following a rigorous regime. As a result, they didn’t have time to play and spend with friends and family. Therefore, they lose their childhood. When they become famous little by little, journalists, reporters and paparazzi will concentrate more on their daily life. They will no longer be freedom to do whatever they want. It means they lose their privacy. The last one is their salaries are legitimate coins. Like many people, they use their talent and efforts to earn money. Moreover, they have dedicated a lot to the sports and art field of their own countries with noble titles and medals. Therefore, high salaries can be seen as a reward for all their efforts. In brief, I think that famous athletes and entertainers deserve such high salaries because...

...Are famous people treated unfairly by the media? Should they be given more privacy, or is the price of their fame an invasion into their private lives?
Many girls want to be as beautiful as Paris Hilton and many boys want to be as popular as David Beckham. Who doesn’t want to be a celebrity? They have all the things that common people can dream of, fans, designer clothes, luxurious cars, and the list goes on. Their lavish style of living keeps them in the eye of public and media. As a result of constant attention given to them, their personal lives get over exposed and are brought to public more often then they want. Media interferes into their private lives and sometimes even ruins their lives. So, are famous people actually treated badly by media? Yes, they are and this is due to media’s negative roles and there consequences. Moreover, this leads to many problems into their lives, though some celebrities want to be in spotlight. There should be a limit on “paparazzi”.
First of all, the media’s negative role destroys the celebrities’ lives. So, why does media interferes into celebrities’ private lives? Media interferes just to sell, so if they don’t do this no one will watch there channels or other sources of media, and this brings profit and popularity to them. Celebrities are always followed by media. There is a thin line between a celebrity’s private life and professional life when the media tries to expose his or her private life; it...

...schools to search for the most talented, unique, and determined athletes all over the world. Some students come from halfway across the country, or even half way across the world just for the privilege of attending, studying, and most importantly, playing a sport for a universities sports team. Some of these students can barely speak English, or hardly passed high school, but in the end that is all irrelevant because these colleges take these students mostly based on their performance on the court, field, or rink. These universities such as Alabama, LSU, or even our own University of Maryland understands that they get most of their money from the sports department, especially from their football team. Alumni, students, and other fans of these sports spend money to watch their team play basketball, football, soccer, and many other athletics. Although these universities obtain most of their funding through the sports play of the student athletes, college athletes should not be paid for doing an activity that got them into college in the first place.
There has been a lot of controversy over the past decade whether or not college students should be paid for playing sports at a collegiate level that produces larges amount of cash for the university. Currently, it is illegal for college athletes to receive any compensation or pay under the table for playing sports. There have been a lot of scandals of student...

...great revenue, comes the feeling of a “professionalization” of college athletics and in turn college athletes. The line between college athletes as Student-Athletes and college athletes as Athlete-Students has continued to blur, causing some major issues to arise with regards to athletics and academics. Some of the most primary issues currently affecting NCAA athletes are: academic support, the NBA age rule, eligibility and scholarships, and the academic progress rate (APR).
Academic Support
The perception of many student-athletes on college campuses, especially those in revenue-producing sports such as basketball and football, is that they are Athlete-Students rather than Student-Athletes. In most Division One universities special academic support facilities and resources are available to athletes participating in intercollegiate athletics. Most schools spend millions of dollars on facilities and support staffs to provide student athletes with the necessary assistance to help keep them eligible.
A New York Times article notes that many of the nation’s top athletic programs have invested significant funds in their athletic-academic programs. For example, Louisiana State University spent $15 million to build an academic center for athletes and the University of Georgia built a new facility for $7...

...04 October 2000 Almost Famous: Essay on Entertainment Criticism A rolling stone gathers no moss. If Cameron Crowe is to be believed, a 15-year-old Rolling Stone writer will gather all kinds of things. Not the least of which are life experience, sexual exploits, and rock and roll insights. Almost Famous is Crowe's semi-autobiographical account of a young man taking the fast lane to adulthood on the tour bus with a rising rock and roll band. The critics are almost unanimous in their praise of this peek at the backstage machinations of the 1970's rock music scene. The critics feel that Cameron Crowe's script and direction, combined with breakout performances from Kate Hudson and Patrick Fugit in major roles, and enhanced by the scintillating talents of Frances McDormand and Phillip Seymour Hoffman in supporting roles, tells a natty tale of life by misadventure.
Almost Famous tells the story of William Miller (newcomer Patrick Fugit), an underage prodigy-writer attempting to document the thrills and spills of life on the road with a burgeoning rock and roll band called Stillwater. The first verse of this protracted rock and roll number is where we first meet William Miller (played initially by Michael Angarano). He is a precocious eleven-year-old boy living in San Diego, California. For reasons unexplained, his mother Elaine (Frances McDormand) has convinced him that he's 13. She has skipped him forward two grades in school, so this...

...Five On a Treasure Island
Review by Keith Robinson (June 15, 2005)
Ah, the Famous Five! In this first book, we open with Julian, Dick and Anne at home with their parents, chatting around the breakfast table. Julian asks his mother if they're going to Polseath as usual for the summer holidays—but to the childrens' surprise their parents have decided they want to go away on their own to Scotland. The children must go to stay with their Aunt Fanny and Uncle Quentin, down by the sea at Kirrin Bay. They have a daughter by the name of Georgina, who is very lonely and could do with the company of a few cousins. And so plans are made, and they all pile into the car and set off.
We're introduced to Uncle Quentin, a clever scientist who spends all his time studying. He's a fierce-looking, short-tempered man who tries to be nice but can't help getting irritable at the slightest thing. We learn that he carries a heavy burden because his work, though important, just doesn't bring in enough money to ensure financial security for his family. The extent of this burden is unclear, but at this stage in the series there's no sign of a hired cook, which means they must be poor! Aunt Fanny makes all their picnics in this book, and she's a sweet woman who the children adore from the outset.
And then there's Georgina, who looks and acts like a boy and won't answer to her proper name. They must call her George, she tells her cousins, or else she'll ignore them. She makes a big...

...The efforts of five women known as the Famous Five has had a lasting effect on the rights of women in Canada to this day. These women, all from Alberta, were Emily Murphy, Nellie McClung, Louise McKinney, Irene Parlby and Henrietta Muir Edwards. Emily Murphy pressured the Alberta government into passing the “Dower Act’ which protected a wife’s right to one-third (⅓) share of her husband’s property. Nellie McClung was very active with organizations and was involved in politics from 1914 to 1926. Louise McKinney was a very strong supporter of the prohibition. Irene Parlby supported all programs which would benefit the welfare of women and children, she was very interested in the well being of women and children. Henrietta Muir Edwards had a reputation for knowing more about the laws affecting women than even the chief justice of Canada, which was very helpful when dealing with the “Persons Case”. The “Persons Case” allow women to be appointed to the Senate of Canada, this also helped with women’s rights. Women’s rights to vote, to work and everything in between were changed by the Famous Five and the “Persons Case”.
Emily Murphy pressured the Alberta government into passing the “Dower Act’. Born in Cookstown, Ontario in the year 1868, Emily Murphy was the third of six children. Murphy grew up in a family where law and political events were often dinner conversation. One of Murphy’s uncles was a Supreme Court Judge and another a...

NCAA Athletes and Social Media
Nathan T. Mortland

How can social media such as Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram have an effect on student athletes, their team and their school? Young adults and teenagers normally make a lot of mistakes on social media. Some normal mistakes they make are posting underage drinking, partying pictures, derogatory statements (that could be prejudice to different races, sexes, or people with a different sexual orientation) and inappropriate or revealing pictures. These mistakes could be magnified for student athletes due to how they are looked up to in their community or across the country. These mistakes can also effect the athlete’s reputation, their team’s reputation, and their school’s reputation.
Social media can be very dangerous to student athletes, especially those on scholarship. Making a big mistake on a post can result in a variety of punishments. Usually, for first time offenders, it can result in a suspension. If a top player from any team gets suspended, it is going to hurt their chances of winning; this will look bad to the student athlete’s fans and could hurt their relationship with their teammates. It could also hurt the athlete’s chance of getting scouted because they now have fewer opportunities to get looked at by professional scouts. An athlete that has multiple offenses, or has a really bad...
